Virtual Museum of SEC History

Harvey Pitt and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have been prominent in the public's attention these days, so what better time to look at the agency's historical roots? This effort, part of the SEC's overall site, contains primary source materials, oral histories, letters to and from former SEC leaders, court records, diaries, photos, and other materials. The site is kept up to date with fresh content as it is unearthed or produced. One gem here includes a lively letter to Felix Frankfurter from his former student at Harvard Business School and early SEC employee, David Ginsburg, who provides colorful courtroom details on an important case.
